Happy December 1st, καλό μήνα! Kicking off the month with the sweetest celebration for baby Giovanni🐻
Yesterday’s Baptism was such a beautiful way to welcome the holiday season. Baby Gio’s nickname, little bear🐻, inspired everything. There was something so sweet and heartfelt about rooting the entire design in a name filled with love🐻
From there, we blended the warmth of the holidays with the timeless feel of a Ralph Lauren Christmas, not the overly trending version you see all over the Internet right now, but the true essence: classic, rich textures, deep hunter green velvet linens, touches of gold, lots of beautiful holiday fresh greens and of course the most important part, the warmth of family gatherings🐻
Every guest table had its own charming teddy bear, each dressed in a tiny holiday silk bow tie or hand-tied kerchief in the same blackwatch plaid as the napkins. It was the smallest detail, but seeing them all together was oh so cute🐻
And the welcome moment…truly one of our favorites this year. Inspired by the Ralph Lauren storefront in Saint-Germain, Paris, we created a custom façade with blue awnings, lanterns, and a gallery wall filled with bear motifs, a playful nod that made the theme uniquely Giovanni🐻
Our goal is always to honor the inspiration without replicating what’s already been done… to make something personal, intentional, and made just for our clients💙
Most importantly, Gio’s parents and godparents were absolutely a dream to work with. Warm, kind, trusting and welcoming even with the wild snowstorm and all the chaos of this weekend, their energy made everything feel joyful and calm. We were so grateful to work with them 💙
And yes…we also pulled off a beautiful proposal setup Saturday in the middle of that storm ❄️💍!
What a heartfelt and celebratory way to end one amazing November🐻
*Thank you for all your support and encouraging messages from this weekend’s updates…what a storm🙈
xoxo,
Team Limani
